Thanks, the COMPILE_DEPEND is exactly the bit of information
that I needed.  My wrapper-parser-enhancements gerrit topic (which
has gotten a bit stale) already has all the build changes except for
explicitly making the directory into a module.  So this weekend I can
pull pieces out of that topic to make a new wrapper-tool-module topic.
